Corbin has been playing with Stephen Miller, another local Austin musician, and has had the opportunity to travel across the southwest performing for the last few months, and will continue playing with Stephen.

Todd has been putting a lot of effort into his post-rock outfit called Apodiform.  He’s currently recording some material that should be released in the near future.

I (Jason) have been presented with some great opportunities as a solo artist and songwriter, so I am in the process of recording a new EP which should be released by SXSW.  You can keep up with me at jasonpoemusic.com.

Because we have all had great outside opportunities, we have decided to put Jets Under Fire on an indefinite hiatus.  We may still record some material in the future, but are unsure of when this will happen, or if it will actually happen.  Unfortunately, this means no EP4.

All of the members are all still great friends, so this is not a bitter end, but just a time to move on into other things.

Thank you so much for your support over the last few years!  It really has been great a time for us, and we hope you have enjoyed the music we’ve made!

Songs I Love That You Might Hate - Can’t Help Falling In Love by UB40

So this song is actually an Elvis cover, but it’s a dang good one.  It has some syrupy-sweet synth strings, a little brass, a great drum loop, and even better vocals.    Plus, this song was featured on such cinematic masterpieces as Sliver and Speed 2:  Cruise Control.

Every time I hear this song, I remember a moment when my elementary school friends and I traveled an extremely far distance (for 5th graders) to McDonald’s without our parent’s permission (of course).  As we ate our food outside, this song came pumping into the play area.  My best friend at the time, Cole, jumped up on the table and began dancing.  Not to make all his friends laugh, but because he loved this song.  I can still see him, both hands in the air (one holding an ice cream cone), and a look of focused passion for a British reggae band playing an Elvis cover.

Cole, this one’s for you.

Songs I Love That You Might Hate - Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai

I think I titled this blog series a little too harshly.  Hate is such a strong word.  As I’m going through these songs, I don’t see how people can really HATE them.  They’re pretty awesome, actually.  Maybe I should have called it something like “Songs I Love, That You Probably Love Too, But Probably Didn’t Think I Would Like.”  Alas, that would be too long.

This song is just smooth, and this video is awesome.

White walls
For blackened rooms
But no one ever sees inside
Lock and key
A mirrored we
Always reflect the light

Outside
The wheels of progress
Everything is spit and shine
The friends we keep
Never see
All that’s outside the light

Halos, on our heads
But heartache in our souls
How long will we keep hiding
How long until we show
Broken and named
We are the same

Hidden
Any signs of weakness
Systematic rights and wrongs
Life on stage
The script unchanged
Hidden inside the walls

Halos, on our heads
But heartache in our souls
How long will we keep hiding
How long until we show
Broken and named
We are the same

Wake the dead
Raise up all the casualties of youth
Remain unsaid
Let what we do
Speak the truth

Halos, on our heads
But heartache in our souls
How long will we keep hiding
How long until we show
Broken and named
We are the same
We are the lost
We are the shamed
Like the blood in our veins
We are the same
